that males got seriously nice colour aye, combined with that decent female should make for some decent offspring

Got a spare 60L tank that's not doing anything so pretty keen on setting it up and getting some lamprologus ocellatus. Planning on using coral sand as the substrate, coral rock to ad filtration and decoration (as well as using a hob filter) and some shells for the fish to hide etc. Just wanting some extra info on these guys and also to know if this is the best way to run the tank and how many can i have without it being over stocked and having issues to arise?

dont know about that one aye, for example pretty sure the eheim classic's for example need to be below the tank as there a gravity fed filter

anyone have any photos of the tank? interested to see how bad it is lol

bottom of 4th pic is that a flagtail prochilodus fin?

bro how much for a stand just like the one pictured? :thup:

at fist u'll think im being an idiot but it honestly works a charm aye as im doing it on my four foot tank. just get one of those cheap blueplanet tankmaid internal filters, the largest one apparently flows 1000l/hr. i took all 3 compartments apart and broke off all the bottom grid bits making it one whole chamber/compartment and then just stuff it full of filter wool. only needs changing like every fortnight and its easy as to change the wool, there cheap to buy as well. i really noticed the difference aye, no more tiny little particles anywhere.

had a 5 foot miami corn snake when i lived in england, was a cool pet specially seeing it make mince meat of a full size rat. currently have four alpacas in the paddocks, god knows why lol

yeah mine was only fed bloodworms for a while, pretty much as said above i used bloodworms to lure him out and then keep trying raw prawn, he didnt eat it for a couple of weeks. sucks short term but long term worth doing, crazy to think how much bigger he'd be on a better diet from the word go considering bloodworms have practically no nutrition. maybe try some live bait like small earthworms? mine rages on them aye and at least lets him have something to work for

hahaha dont try and act all sweet and innocent lol. hope you have better luck catching fish this weekend :facepalm:

yeah ive just come back from cairns and port douglas, even port douglas as a holiday resort/destination wasn't that expensive for what it was.I honestly believe if you exclude the exchange rate (as you'll be living there) things are pretty similar in price except the wages are a fair bit higher, cost of living in some areas but the wage increase will more than cover it. Every time i go to aus regardless of where, i'm more and more inclined to move over as well aye

think you'll find its 16 :lol:

clown loaches in a 70L tank? :facepalm:

cycle contains food for the bacteria to live on, so by adding it to your tank it can actually cause a rise in ammonia levels. but assuming your tank is already cycled then you shouldnt need it, could always use stability as the bacteria becomes live once its in contact with the water.

not sure if id completely agree with that, ph up/down is a complete waste of money as every water change will affect the ph as the chemical used, far better off using peat driftwood oyster shell etc, but water conditioner is useful if your not letting the water sit before adding to the tank so it removes the chlorine and you also dont know exactly what metals are in the tap water and for the sake of a cheapy bottle of stresscoat could be worth it
